Ski Insurance. We Know Snow.
Ski Insurance Policy Options
Designed by skiers, for skiers, our policies give you peace of mind on the slopes. Choose International or Domestic cover.
Planning a heli-skiing trip or hitting the snow several times a year? Our Heli-Ski Cover and Annual Multi-Trip policies aren’t available right now, but 1Cover Travel Insurance may have an option that suits you.
Overseas Trip
Planning to ski or snowboard overseas? We’ve got you covered! From the slopes of New Zealand and Japan to the mountains of Canada and the USA, our overseas policies are designed to cover your adventures wherever you choose to go.
Domestic Trip
From Thredbo to Jindabyne, Perisher to Falls Creek, Australia is home to some fantastic ski destinations. But accidents can happen, even on a domestic getaway. That’s why we’ve designed our Domestic Insurance policy to give you greater peace of mind, so you can focus on enjoying every moment on the slopes.
Annual Multi Trip
Do you take off more than once a year for an overseas snow adventure? Perhaps you’re heading to Japan in November, Switzerland in February and New Zealand in August. We offer an annual multi-trip policy that will cover journeys over a 12 month period and each individual trip can be up to 21 days.
Group Ski Trip
Taking the whole gang skiing? Whether it's family of friends, you can cover up to 25 people under one convenient policy. Less admin so you can focus on carving up the sloped, dodging snowballs and making memories you'll be talking about long after the snow melts.
Welcome to Ski Insurance, Australia’s specialist insurer of winter sports holidays.
Whether it’s on or off piste, we cover all of your snowboarding and skiing holiday needs.
Ski Insurance covers you for what you need for winter sports such as piste closure, bad weather & avalanche closure and snow/ski equipment hire. We’ve also got essential medical cover with unlimited medical benefits plus cover for your luggage, cancellations, lost deposits and more.
